Chapter 75 New Year's Eve
"So much has happened this year!" Zhong Xiaoqin leaned on Gu Jia's shoulder, the two snuggling together as they watched TV. The show was showing a scene from "A Little Reunion," and a greasy old man was calling out "Yingzi!" to the camera! The two women watching simultaneously shivered!
"It's truly a turbulent time. They say one should be established by thirty, and thirty really is a strange age!" Gu Jia felt this much more deeply than Zhong Xiaoqin. Since moving to Junyue Mansion, Gu Jia hadn't had a single day of peace!
Zhong Xiaoqin pointed to the tea leaves on the table and asked, "How's your Kongshan tea? I've seen your commercials on TV!"
"Thanks to your teacher Chen, his ideas were really good! Several internet companies have already come to my Kongshan Tea to discuss cooperation, and my Kongshan Tea is now valued at over 40 million!" Gu Jia said with pride when talking about Kongshan Tea.
“My husband is good at making money. I heard from my mother-in-law that my husband has been helping them come up with ideas since he was a child. Otherwise, their business could not have grown so big.”
Gu Jia coaxed Zhong Xiaoqin affectionately, "Yes, your Mr. Chen is the best!"
Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly stood up and looked at Gu Jia, "Gu Gu, tell me honestly, was there a reason why you insisted on starting the fireworks company to prove yourself to my husband? I remember when you and Xu Huanshan first started your business, you wanted my husband to invest, but he didn't agree. When you two left, you didn't look happy."
Gu Jia readily admitted, "Actually, that's part of the reason. At that time, I was ambitious and wanted to prove myself. Also, Xu Huanshan loves designing fireworks; it's his hobby and his dream. Both reasons are involved!"
"Then why were you so angry back then? You could have done something else instead of investing in fireworks."
This time, Gu Jia didn't answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I just wanted to prove that Xu Huanshan isn't much worse than Teacher Chen. After all these years, I've realized that he's not just a little bit worse. People are afraid of comparisons. Xiaoqin, although I've been doing quite well these years, I still often envy you."
This time it was Zhong Xiaoqin's turn to be emotional. "Every family has its own problems. You have no idea how hard I've been working! Over the years, I've exercised almost every day. Gu Gu, you know I love to eat. The nanny cooks all sorts of delicious food every day. But feel my belly," Zhong Xiaoqin pulled Gu Jia's hand under her shirt and covered her stomach. "Can you feel it? I eat a lot of meat and fish every day to nourish my body, but I still don't have an ounce of fat. And if you feel closely, I've almost developed eight-pack abs from exercising!"
Gu Jia stroked it back and forth in surprise, "It really is! It really looks like he has eight-pack abs!"
"Stop touching him! You're getting addicted to it!" Zhong Xiaoqin pushed Gu Jia's hand away. "I don't want these eight-pack or nine-pack abs. You have no idea how tiring it is! He's inhuman! Gu Gu, can you help me?"
"what?"
“Oh, since you’re already divorced, you can just…” Zhong Xiaoqin whispered in Gu Jia’s ear.
…………
Lunar New Year's Eve, morning.
Inside Chen Yu's villa.
Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Wenwen got up very early and made a lot of dumplings. They learned how to make them from Wang Wenwen, who had been learning to cook from her mother since she was little, and was very good at making dumplings quickly and beautifully!
Zhong Xiaoqin brought over a plate of freshly made dumplings. "Honey, we'll be done making dumplings soon! Why don't you take some over to Gu Gu later? Sister Chen is on vacation, and Gu Gu has been too busy to cook lately. Zi Yan and his grandpa are having a tough time!"
Chen Yu didn't think much of it; it was just a small errand!
Upon arriving at Linjiang Immortal Abode, Chen Yu could unlock it with his fingerprint, but he didn't go in immediately. He still needed to show due respect.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Gu Jia opened the door. "Teacher Chen, you're here. Please come in!"
Gu Jia wore a fitted white thin sweater and tight-fitting elastic jeans, an outfit that particularly accentuated her figure. Combined with her loose hair, she possessed a unique kind of beauty.
Chen Yu smiled and nodded, holding up a dumpling. "Xiaoqin and Wenwen made a lot of dumplings. They thought you'd be busy, so they asked me to bring some over!"
"Thank you, Teacher Chen. Please also thank Xiaoqin and Wenwen for me. Teacher Chen, please have a seat. I'll make you a cup of tea!"
"No need to rush, I have to go back soon. Where are Uncle and Ziyan?"
“They went back to their hometown today,” Gu Jia insisted on making a cup of tea and placing it in front of Chen Yu on the coffee table. “Teacher Chen is also in a hurry to leave. Xiaoqin asked me to do something for her, and I’d like to ask you to help me with this later!”
Chen Yu was curious, but Zhong Xiaoqin didn't say what kind of help she wanted. "What do you need me to do?"
Gu Jia smiled shyly, "There's no rush. Wenwen brought some dates when she came the day before yesterday. I'll go wash them first!"
Before Chen Yu could react, Gu Jia got up and went to the bedroom!
Ten minutes later, Gu Jia's voice came from inside the room, "Teacher Chen, could you please bring my bag in from the doorway?"
Chen Yu, unsuspecting, grabbed his bag and went into the bedroom. However, what happened inside couldn't be seen from the outside; only fragmented conversations could be heard, such as "We can't do this," "Xiaoqin's meaning," "Wenwen knows too," and "No! No more!"—strange, incomprehensible phrases.
Two hours later, Chen Yu came out of the bedroom, his clothes unusually neat, even neater than when he went in! He sat on the sofa, picked up the now-cold tea, and took a small sip. The tea was still good; even cold, it tasted quite nice!
A few minutes later, Gu Jia also came out of the bedroom. She had changed into a light pink winter dress and black leggings. Apart from her clothes, she looked much the same as before she went in, except for her legs which were wobbling.
"Would you like to come back with me tonight for the New Year? Let's invite Uncle and Ziyan too," Chen Yu said.
"No need, I'll go see my dad later. Besides, I already told Xiaoqin that we won't tell anyone about our relationship, only the four of us will know! I've said before that I might never get married in this life, partly for Ziyan's sake, and partly because I no longer really believe in love. That's why I agreed to Xiaoqin's request." Gu Jia became embarrassed as she said this, "You and Xu Huanshan are really different, this is the first time!"
Chen Yu was well aware of his uniqueness and was extremely troubled by it. He hadn't expected Zhong Xiaoqin to be so capable; one thing after another, Wang Wenwen was practically a junior. With Zhong Xiaoqin's help, Chen Yu's troubles were temporarily resolved.
After hearing this, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Are you sure you can manage? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"No need, I can just rest in the car for a few minutes and then drive slowly. I think it'll be fine! Let's go then!"
"it is good!"
The two left the house at the same time, and went their separate ways after going downstairs.
The room on the top floor of the Linjiang Immortal Mansion was now empty. The mysterious barrier had finally disappeared, and the view could finally be moved into the bedroom. It was discovered that the bed sheet had been pulled off the bed. Upon closer inspection, it was found in the washing machine, which had not yet been washed.
Several days later, Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia made an appointment to run in the villa's gym. The gym was very large, with three treadmills!
Tired from running, Zhong Xiaoqin stopped to rest for a while. "Gu Gu, I never thought you were this kind of person! You get dehydrated just from running! You almost scared my husband the other day!"
Gu Jia looked a little embarrassed. "Actually, I didn't know either. I've never run this intensely before. I'll be more careful next time!"
Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, "That's true, we should pay attention to scientific fitness!"
